True Happiness Lies in Authentic Self-Knowing

As humans, we are conditioned to identify with a false sense of “self” through material items like social status, jobs, parenthood, relationships, and even hobbies. We take on labels associated with each role and eventually begin to identify our sense of self with the label. Consequently, happiness and inner peace become elusive for many.Women's retreats help at releasing stress and bringing joy back into your life

About Those Labels

Wife, mother, tennis player, photographer, real estate agent . . . all of these are merely labels for our external activities. Even though we believe they define our identity, each can be lost or taken away at any time in life. When this happens, there is almost always a serious identity crisis that follows.

The human condition is something that is difficult to break free of in the best of circumstances. So we ease our pain, fear, and confusion with distractions. We fill our days with the quest for material things, and in doing so, fail to allow ourselves to be truly quiet. Yes, life is difficult and demanding. Ultimately, we have things we must do. We are fathers, mothers, workers, bill payers and through all this responsibility we often lose ourselves. Therefore, happiness feels unreachable at times.

A Child’s Sense of Reality Through Happiness

If you look at children, they have an un-jaded sense of reality. They explore the world with fearless curiosity, often putting their parent in panic. But as we age, we lose this sense of creative engagement and progressively spiral downward into fear and judgment. We become increasingly critical of ourselves, as well as, others. Overall, we lose our sense of happiness.

The Story of Your Life

How can we strip away the storyline that we tell ourselves? We are stuck in “This is who I am. This is what happened to me. I am a victim.” These are all things we tell ourselves to explain the story of our lives. We stop questioning and just accept a life that is chaotic and stress filled. Then we wonder why we can’t find long-lasting happiness.

Ego and Unhappiness
